Ingeborg to Schleswig-Holstein

Ingeborg Princess zu Schleswig-Holstein (full name Ingeborg Princess zu Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg ; born July 9, 1956 in Thumby ) is a German painter.

Life

Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein was born on Gut Bienebek in Thumby ( Rendsburg-Eckernförde district ). She is the granddaughter of Friedrich zu Schleswig-Holstein , who founded the Louisenlund Foundation . In 1976 she passed her A-levels at the boarding high school. She studied at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg until 1981 . She met Andy Warhol in Düsseldorf and went to New York for five years , where she worked in Warhol's Factory for a year . She first showed her works, large-scale abstract paintings, in exhibitions in New York, Southampton and Hamburg in the early 1980s. From 1984 to 1986 she created the picture cycle Weg ins Licht from 24 panel paintings and twelve rosettes for the upper storey for the Hamburg main church St. Katharinen , of which she was a member of the church council until 2008 . The installation inspired the Polish composer Augustyn Bloch (1929–2006) to compose the oratorio Because your light comes for the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival , which premiered in the church in 1988. This resulted in a collaboration with Bloch, for example a triptych in front of which Bloch's work Empor was performed at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in Flensburg , or in 1997 a cycle of pictures on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the city of Danzig , for which Bloch wrote the oratorio Ein Gebet für Danzig wrote. In 1999 she created a three-winged altarpiece, an altar table with a cross and a lectern for the prayer room of a retirement home in Hamburg. Ingeborg von Schleswig-Holstein has also been painting watercolors since 2003 .

Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein is married to the media entrepreneur Nikolaus Broschek and has a son who was born in 1995. Regarding her origins, she said: “The nobility play a peculiar role because they actually don't play any more, but still serve longings.” She lives and works in Hamburg.

Her honorary positions include the chairmanship of the Louisenlund Foundation .

Since 2014 she has also been on the advisory board of the Heraeus Education Foundation .
